Domestication vs. taming

[Catherine]

I can see how Misty was an alpha female. It is just the type of personality she had. She assumed authority. That is why she would automatically teach a young dog its place.  She could have run her own dog training course.

There would be no way a wolf dog and a dominate dog like Misty could ever share space. There is only room for one alpha in the pack.

I would worry about those foxes. Unless they can make good money selling them they will all end up as fur coats. I suspect any that are not as tame or not as cute, will also end up as coats.  It is sad. Those foxes didn't ask for what was done to them.

I still think some animals would not become tame no matter what we do. Foxes were partway there anyhow. All we did was work with their tendency towards tameness.
